Dogs, cats and rabbits understand the concept of a blanket and usually like to get covered by it when it’s too cold. So I think it’s not far fetched to assume they understand clothes.
I wonder if fish understand the concept of a blanket
I bet a catfish would understand it, at least
Thank you for including rabbits! My bunnies loves catching on blankets and cuddling. Also as of last night, my leopard geckos also love blankets lol

I had chickens for a while, and had one particular chicken that was really affectionate towards me (called her Roberta Flock). When I shaved my head she ran from me like she would from everyone else. Took like a week before she realized she could trust me. I think in her mind her friend died and a stranger moved in the same day
Except for crows.
The neighborhood asshole crow knows exactly who old man Willard is and attacks on sight.
I would imagine Crows still take longer to recognize a human than another bird, but you are right. Crows are known to not only create bonds with humans, but also hold grudges. They will play pranks or outright terrorize asshole humans
No, my budgie could always recognise me, even when I wore a hat or a mask or coloured my hair shocking pink. At the beginning he didn’t like when I wore stripes though.
He was scared of anyone else (except one of my sisters, even though he rarely saw her) until he got to know them. I don’t know if he was going by my voice or what.
The garden birds recognised me by my clothes though. I had hand tamed a bird with mealworms, and he’d ambush me every time I went into the garden. And my mum got ambushed once when she was dressed similarly to me.
Bold of you to assume your cat gives a fuck what you do
My sweet cat does. Shes very stand offish, but if you start crying or being sad she runs up to you. You can even fake cry and she comes running. You try to pet her almost any other time, she nope the fucks out while angry meeping.
Always wondered this. I don’t think my cat gives a goddamn but she hides from strangers. My dogs know if I put on certain clothes it’s time for walkies and get excited. My old girl with poor vision will sniff my feet to be extra sure.
I dressed up in a steampunk outfit with a tall hat and long black coat and the cat freaked the hell out.
No, they might not understand. But, also no, you’re not traumatizing them.
They do understand what your pain response is, if they’ve heard it enough. And they recognize that you don’t let that out every time you “peel your skin off” so they assume it must not be painful, and therefore nothing to worry about
Cats don’t care what us large stupid cats do as long as they can’t see the bottom of the food bowl.
My dog gets it.
Big part of him as a puppy getting a collar or vest on was seeing me put clothes on.
“Oh, we do this? Okay.”
Had my dog freak out about me getting bored and putting on my full faced helmet that he’d never seen me in as it was for racing autocross/formula SAE. Made for some fun chasing around as he was particularly worried about the helmet itself even after it was off. But, otherwise…
